I’m super lucky to work at the castle green,  one of pasadena’s oldest buildings. I took a little stroll on my break today and snapped some quickies…

Ghosthunters claim castle green is haunted. I wouldn’t be surprised; supposedly back in the day a little boy got too close to the machinery downstairs and his head was decapitated.   Some famous individuals who lived here are Tim Burton, Marcel Duchamp (French Artist), and one of my fave American painters, Mark Ryden (he did Michael Jackson’s dangerous album cover!). 

As i walked out to the courtyard, I smelled something nastayyyy. You’ll see what I mean. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

the rooms in castle green have all been converted into pricey apartments.  hanging on one of the resident’s doors were these wish bracelets!

I walked right outside the office into the courtyard and stumbled upon a bunch of flies. As I got closer, they all flew away and I realized what they were feasting on…poor ratty

these spoiled squirrels know no fear. they’ve been trained to eat peanuts straight out of your hand.

reunited and it feels so gooooood! Cyn and I went to  our friend Sha Li’s wedding over the weekend so I was able to see a lot of old and familiar friends.  I’m sure you guys have all seen the Chris Brown Wedding Entrance video that’s been circulating the net.  The bridesmaids and groomsmen decided to jam to the Black Eyed Peas’ – I got a feelin’.  so cute.

I only had my outdated point & shoot that day.  I wish I took more pics but there was an open bar and we all know how that goes…
